3002

It is the year 3002. Almost two years ago, nuclear warfare destroyed the world as you knew it. The Arctic flooded and the Atlantic and Indian oceans dried out. Radiation killed millions of people, bombs and bullets millions more. Against all odds, you have survived this far. You are in the ruins of the once-great New York City, part of a group of ten teenagers, 13-21 years old. After the bombing of New York, you banded together for survival. Now, two years later, you are starting to notice the effects of the radiation: you are developing a power. But you’re not the only ones. Animals are mutating too, but at a much faster rate. Snakes with wings, talking rats, fish with fangs and a poisonous bite, and diseases and viruses that never existed before.

In this new, harsh world you are driven to violence. On the streets of NYC the new motto is, “Kill, or be killed.” If you see a person your only thought will be if they have weapons and/or enough food for you or not. If they have no weapons but do have food you attack to take it. If they have weapons and food you run – unless you want to stay and try to fight them. If they have weapons and no food you definitely want to run. None of either? Leave them to die. This is why you’re in a group, to take down the weaker people and grab their food. That way you’re safer.

And, you are hunted. As you start to notice your powers, other people do too. They are coming for you, to use your power to create a new society of gifted, adapted humans, to experiment and try to find a way to give your gifts to other, un-adapted humans. And they’re going to be here very, very soon. You just don’t know it yet. Rules: *No sex*No god-modding unless the person isn’t on and you really, really need them, and please stay in character. *No bad swearing or really graphic violence, keep it PG-13.*Tell us if you are going to be gone for a week or more. *Anything that isn’t RP related please put in (OOC: ) tags or post on the discussion topic (this is going to be a link to the discussing topic)*Use correct grammar, no chat speak.*Keep is realistic – well, as realistic as you can get in a post-apocalyptic world destroyed by war and people are getting powers - no ghosts or immortality or anything, please. *You can have only have one power mutation. (But you can have as many physical mutations as you’d like, as long as they not too many (2+) work in your favor).

Just so you know:*Leader of the group, Ivory Fangs, is Noah. He's RPed by Sierra.*This is our discussion topic. So we don't clutter up the pages with tons of OOC discussions that should be recorded.

2. CelticaNoir - Name: Sula Erani

Spoiler! :

Gender: FemaleAge (13-21): 17Appearance:http://www.youngwriterssociety.com/download/file.php?id=11647 Her skin is mostly pale, but has a hint of a natural tan to it; her bright red hair is usually tied up into a ponytail. Her eyes are a dull, almost unnoticeable blue. Her body frame is lithe, almost fragile; she is definitely not an athlete by any means. She usually wears fancy clothing, such as those from fairy tales.Personality: Sula, like her name indicates, is a free spirit. She likes dressing up in fairy tale costumes, much to the chagrin of those who know her. (They think it makes her look ridiculous.) She is not easily angered, however, and can actually be the stable center when people are panicking. She is rather shy, however, which is the reason she gets nervous in personal situations or casual conversations; she never likes talking about herself, and doesn't know what to ask the other person. She is also very intelligent, despite what you might think of her at first glance. Even though she is considered quite pretty, she doesn't think so herself.History: Sula was born to doctors Leah and Anan Erani. A odd girl even as a child, Sula's behavior caused her to be ostracized from her classmates and siblings, although she barely noticed it herself. She took a shine to painting and excelled at it, but quickly became bored of it and turned to the school theater instead taking minor role after minor role. Sula became the star of the theater, but she kept choosing the same unnoticeable roles, much to everyone's confusion and chagrin. When the war came, Sula had barely noticed before she was caught in the bombings at school, with most of her classmates dying and those of who didn't, mutating, the latter group including herself.Mutation (only one – see the rules above for more clarification on this): Shapeshifting. Sula can change her appearance from one form to another, taking on another person's appearance or even sometimes, an animal's. However, she can't change her eyes; anyone looking too closely might notice this. She also can't change for very long; as of late, she found her limit to be at four hours.Loner? Or already in the group? Loner.Up for love: Yep.Weapon of Choice (there isn’t much ammo for guns): Her own hands and feet. Sula is something of a karate girl, although she's not really adept at it.Other: Sula is considered exotic-looking by most who know her.

She usually wears a black tank top with a large white top slung over it, with a pair of jean shorts. http://www.scenicreflections.com/files/ ... _niqe5.jpgPersonality (If you want to say what it is.): You'll find out...History: Ash was always the freak girl. She didn't have many friends in her life, and she was picked on/bullied most of it. Her parents were busy, working class people. They each worked up to three jobs at a time, so they weren't usually there for Ash. She worked hard at everything she did despite her hard times. When she was 13, she ran away from home and hitch-hiked to NYC. There, she got a job as a waitress and even found love in a boy named James. Unfortunately, James died in the first wave of those lost to radiation. Ash didn't have the heart to go home so she's still there in NYC.Mutation (only one see the rules above for more clarification on this): Wings (as seen in the pic)Loner? Or already in the group? (If your already-in-group explain how you got there) In the group. Ash ran into the group by accident and after proving that she wouldn't be a serious danger to the members of the group they let her in.Up for love? Ash is still a bit brokenhearted, but if a guy is willing to try to reach out to her, she'd be faithful 'til the end.Weapon of Choice (there isn't much ammo for guns): Shurikens (throwing stars)Other (NO PETS): Ash has some serious anger issues.

4.Apple - Name:Gabriel “Gabby” Patterson

Spoiler! :

Gender: MaleAge (13-21): Fourteen turning fifteen (thought I’d shake it up a little since everyone is relatively the same age). Appearance (any image – even anime – is accepted): Sorry guys, I found this awesome .gif thing that I just couldn’t help but post.

Gabriel looks a lot younger then his age supposes. With ruffled blonde hair and cool blue eyes, his skin is extremely pale and prone to burning. From his father’s side he inherited the dimple in his chin and the strong jaw, though from his mother he received the dark, arched eyebrows and the quirky gleam in his eyes. Gabriel is not the tallest person in the world either, standing at exactly five foot six, no more no less. He is often ridiculed because of his small stature because instead of towering over everyone like most people he admire do, he’s squat and is used as hand rest by practically everyone.Personality (If you want to say what it is.):Gabriel is a cocky, self righteous moron. He thinks about only himself and can appear every air headed at times, like, really air headed. Gabriel was never one for patience either. He’ll step a toe over the line if it gets him closer to his goal even though death could be waiting around the corner. Gabriel doesn’t care, as long as he gets what he wants. The teenage boy is also very stubborn. Even though most of the world is destroyed, he still has hope that somewhere over the hill there is normality. In saying all that, Gabriel does have a soft spot though he disguises it very well and only very few can see it.History:Gabriel grew up in a very religious, Christian family. His father could’ve been considered a reverend just how engrossed the older man was in religion and the church. Gabriel’s mother was not so much. With a gambling addiction, Gabriel’s father was oblivious to the problem and as was most of the family. Gabriel had a good enough siblings even if they did have their fall outs. With six older sisters and a baby brother, Gabriel’s hands were always full. Then the bombing began. Gabriel’s internet show that he had been working on ever since he received a laptop on his tenth birthday was left unfinished as the house he shared with his father’s other workmates was sent crashing to the ground. His mother was the one that saved him from the worst of the wreckage, though only causing herself serious injuries. Everyone else he had grown up with were killed by the worst of the fire which engulfed their home whole. For weeks Gabriel and his mother were on the run till they were tracked down. Gabriel’s mother risked herself to save her son giving him enough time to run away whilst she played the decoy. She died from six bullet wounds as Gabriel found out when he went back to find her.Mutation (only one – see the rules above for more clarification on this): Gabriel’s power is mimicry. By watching his opponent, he has the ability to copy their ability and use it against them though not as strongly. Gabriel is still unaware that he even has a power, instead he uses only his gun when something goes wrong. Just watch out, when he learns his ability he'll be copying everything you do.Loner? Or already in the group?: Gabriel was in a group, though because of his attitude, and he almost got them all killed by giving them wrong directions, he was kicked out receiving a broken arm in the process which still is in the healing process. He was the one that actually founded the group; seven children who he had found hiding in an abandoned warehouse. After they found another person who was a much better leader then Gabriel they kicked him to the curb, literally. The Sayers, that is the group's name, and Gabriel are not on good terms. Up for love? Eh, I don’t know; if you can handle him then sure! Weapon of Choice (there isn’t much ammo for guns): Just imagine it real-like, okay. This was the weapon his mother had stolen from a gun shop when they had been on the run together. When Gabriel returned to her corpse, he pulled some of the material from the hem of her dress and tied it to the gun (that explains the little red things).Other (NO PETS): Because Gabriel is so short he was given a nickname to make him appear more cute. “Gabby” was the name The Sayers christened him. This infuriates him to no end though he refers more to that name then Gabriel. And I've mentioned this before but I'll state it again: Gabriel's right arm is broken, shattered in three areas. It is still in the mending process though because there is no hospitals it will take much longer then normal. This is also the reason for his snappy tongue. The pain is to much for him to take. He is often seen taking pain killers which he managed to steal from homes that haven't been completely destroyed.

5.latinoburn - Name: Neo Jacques

Spoiler! :

Gender: MaleAge: 17Appearance: http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh214/ppringle6/Untitled-36.jpg Black spiky hair. Tattoos running down both his arms. A beard but no sideburns. Baggy blacks jeans, and old raggedy nikesPersonality: He's quiet, he keep to himself a lot. A lot of people will think hes just an angry psycho maniac. Hes very passive aggressive, it could cost your life if you get on his bad side. Self confident in combat, doesn't know when to quit. Never gives up, doesn't wait on people. He doesn't really care about his appearance, hes one set minded, always focused on something.History: Neo was born into a tough neighborhood in Detroit. He was a very fast bloomer and caught on to things very fast. Neo had two parents who both worked 3 jobs to keep him in school. Neo never got to see his parents. When he reached his senior year in junior, his parents began to fight a lot.Things only got worse and his parents resorted to having a divorce. Rumors for nuclear outbreak were beginning to break out and it was affecting the economy greatly. Businesses were closing down, crime rates were rising, it was utter chaos. Neo's father was killed by in a shoot out by bank robbers and his mom lost all three of her jobs. The following day, Neo's mom was mugged and robbed of all of her money. Neo had to drop out of high school and join a gang in the streets to survive. In his process of survival, he found love and had a beautiful daughter named, Hailey. Three years later the nuclear war rumors were beginning to calm down. Two year old Hailey was just learning how to read, when an un-identified location fired several nuclear bombs all around America. Neo and Hailey were able to survive two explosions, as Neo inhaled the radiation he had this weird feeling and his hands but he ignored it. As Neo and Hailey ran for their lives Hailey fainted from all the radiation, Neo tried to run back and get his daughter. but the rubble from everywhere continued to block him. Hailey was killed as a ten story building collapsed on her limp body. It all came crashing to down to Neo. As Neo's grief and anger grew the feelings in his hands grew more and more. Neo survived by manipulating Metal and Glass into a incredibly hard shield. Today Neo has found many ways to manipulate his powers into very creative methods of attack and survival, but he steal has problems controlling it, his powers grow as he still inhales radiation.Mutation (only one – see the rules above for more clarification on this):Magnetic Manipulation. Neo has manipulation powers, magnetic fields found their way into oxygen. Neo had an allergic reaction and now able to control metal and special medals like steel, but the magnetic field still grows in his handsLoner or part of the group: Loner.Up for love: partially- No.Weapon of choice: Knives and chunks of metal.Other: He still seeks to find the un-identified location that bombed America, leading to his daughter's death.

6. Dragonette -Name: Mickey (Michael) Griffen

Spoiler! :

Gender: MaleAge (13-21): 14Appearance: Light skin. Strawberry-blond hair. Turquoise eyes. Freckles. And he's always bare-foot. Personality: Determined, maybe not outwardly, but when he makes up his mind he's sure to follow through. He's loyal. He gets pushed around a lot and doesn't resist it, therefore he's normally the one that does all the jobs that no one else wants to do. But like I said, he doesn't resist it and doesn't really mind, and he's loyal enough to do what ever people tell him to do.History: Mickey is a normal kid, nothing much exciting. His mom was a teacher, his dad a sheriff, and he was an only child.He's nothing special, just one of those kids that go unnoticed in the school hallways. He's not strong, not talented at sports, nor a wiz kid. He's just Mickey. Honestly, it's a surprise that he's lasted this long after the bombing, he's not really one of those rough-tough, feisty type of people. But he's determined. To keep himself alive and from depression, he's turned survival into a game of sorts, kind of like one of the video games that he used to play. You die you lose, stay alive and you win, those are the rules and he's determined to be the winner. And he figures while he's playing this mad game, hey why not earn some points and throw in a couple stunts here and there.Mutation: He can sense things around him by feeling vibrations through the earth. So if his bare skin is in touching the ground he can find anything from at least a mile away (that's why he's always bare-foot, so he can feel the earth beneath him).Loner? Or already in the group? In the group. He found Noah and bargained with him to let him join the group.Up for love? Yep.Weapon of Choice: A light pistol. It was his dad's. Mickey also has a bunch of bullets for the gun because his dad always had a lot. So no problem there.Other: He has an old skate board and he uses it as his transportation. http://th00.deviantart.net/fs11/PRE/i/2 ... sher27.jpg

Hope I didn't step out of line with this one, if anything is problematic then I apologize.I know there aren't any pictures, I just don't know where to find good ones.

I looked at the wasteland surrounding me, collapsed street lights, broken windows, some buildings struggling for survival against their cracks and wounds, I noticed a man lying with his back to one of the walls. He had dirty clothes and his face skin was all scarred and peeled. He coughed, spitting blood in the process.I grinned as I thought to myself that he is just like the buildings, struggling for survival against his wounds.I shrugged and kept walking, he is worthless and weak, he will die tonight.My shoes seemed to make enough noise for the entire block to hear, the sound of each collide between my sole and the pavement concrete echoed from the walls. My grip around the pipe grew stronger, but I wasn't really nervous, just careful.I then detected from afar another person, another teenager, younger then me. His age was unimportant, his backpack wasn't. I decided not to use the bat, I controlled my- well- skill, quite good now. It's important to practice...after I killed him I took his bag, which contained a bottle of water, a stone with some crystal on it and the prize of the day, some bandages and antibiotics. I grinned happily and kept walking, leaving behind the burned remains of his body and a sharp chemical stench.
